Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0141922A1] The invention relates to a catalytic converter for the selective hydrogenation of alkines and dienes in C2-C5<+> olefin mixtures. Said catalytic system contains (a) a metal from the tenth group of the periodic table of elements, (b) a metal from the eleventh group of the periodic table of elements, (c) optionally, a compound of a metal of the first or second group of the periodic table of elements, whereby said metals are supported on a carrier selected from the group consisting of silicium dioxide, titanium dioxide, zirconium oxides, spinelles, zinc aluminates, zinc titanates, aluminium silicates or mixtures of said substances. The metal stemming from the eleventh group of the periodic table of elements is homogeneously distributed over the cross-section of catalyst particles. The metal stemming from the tenth group of the periodic table of elements is located at the surface-proximate edge layer of said catalyst particles. Said catalytic converter is preferably produced by applying the metal from the eleventh group is preferably applied already during the production of the carrier by dipping it into a solution of a suitable metal salt.
